Tyla has been a big topic of conversation since her global hit song “Water” went viral. She has won several honours, including a Grammy, a BET, and, most recently, an MTV Video Music Award. Following her winning speech, Americans banded together against Tyla, dragging her for filth online.

Cardi B took to X (previously Twitter) places to defend Tyla after the latest social media bullying. Viewers thought Tyla was impolite to Halle Bailey for asking her to handle her medal. Instead, Cardi pointed out that she was asking Lil Nas X to handle her trophy because he was the man.

“Tyla wishes she never won that VMA award. If she had known, it would have brought so much hate, so much criticism. I bet she was crying that night,” Cardi told her Bardigang audience.

“The internet is so insufferable. The way you guys will take a picture, a moment, and make it something that it is not, and just crush somebody. You all criticise so much that you do not even notice you are bullying this girl, and you do not really have a reason to, but you are making this a reason because you don’t like her for whatever reason. You all are doing too much.”

Tyla was dubbed a ‘Uppity African’ and accused of being overconfident.

Cardi B went on to remark that the prizes are hefty, and Tyla has a smaller build.

“You gotta worry about doing a speech, looking good while you’re carrying a 10-pound award in your hand. So I just don’t think you understand how heavy those awards are,” she continued.
